Photoswitchable water-soluble quantum dots: PcFRET based on amphiphilic photochromic polymer coating

A novel surface architecture was developed to generate biocompatible and stable photoswitchable quantum dots (psQDs). Photochromic diheteroarylethenes, which undergo thermally stable photoconversions between two forms with different spectral properties in organic solvents, were covalently linked to...
